Plot Summary:

Discussion of how the material relates to the issue Changing Self:

Rocky is a boxer who fights against random fighters who arenÐŽ¦t recognized by anyone. Rocky is given the chance to prove himself. It will take hard training, focus, and determination to win this nearly impossible fight against Heavyweight Champion of the World, Apollo Creed. By the end of the movie ÐŽ§Rocky,ЎЁ ЎҐWorld RecognitionÐŽ¦ is taken into effect.

Review of the quality or merit of the text:

This is a personal favorite of mine. The film has many effects on the audience both emotionally and physically. This movie is great as it has no ЎҐsexual contentÐŽ¦ or ЎҐcourse language.ÐŽ¦ Therefore the movie is able to be watched and enjoyed by all ages. In the movie, the special effect of slow motion is used especially during the fight. The camera angles move continuously going both closer and further away to show the main features of the movie. When the ÐŽ§Rocky theme songЎЁ is played, this notifies the audience that a tense part in the movie is about to take place. These effects leave the audience at the edge of their seats.
